| description |
Before he assumed the position of county superintendent in October 1917, Feagin investigated the local schools to assess their conditions and needs: "The observations of the physical equipment made while on my visits to the schools for whites were a revelation to me. The buildings, with few exceptions, are uninviting, poorly equipped, badly lighted, improperly ventilated, and fully ninety per cent of them are hurtful to the health of the children who are compelled to attend them. The lack of sanitary conditions in and about the vast majority of these buildings is such as to bring a blush of shame to every child-loving citizen of the county. To one who knows Montgomery County citizenship, its culture, its refinement and the progressive spirit which it so proudly and justly boasts, the wonder is that conditions have not been remedied before this time, regardless of constitutional inhibitions and unprogressive statutory laws." The pamphlet includes many images to "carry home the grave responsibility resting upon your shoulders as guardians of rural education and child life in Montgomery County." |
